I'm upgrading tow vehicles and moving from a big heavy frame based vehicle to a more modern vehicle with a unibody. As a result I'm loosing some of my more than ample 6500# towing capacity.
I have a 2013 model Covered Wagon 6x10 single axle tall version trailer with no brakes. Does anybody off hand know the empty weight of that? That would be massively helpful just as a basis of calculation. I'll probably still hit the scales with it fully loaded just to be sure.
I'm going to have to reconfigure the way the bikes are in the trailer as they are probably bit far forward and I'm concerned about the tongue weight fully loaded. I went from 500# tongue and 6500# towing capacity to a vehicle with 200# tongue and 4500# capacity. I plan on weighing the tongue before I start moving stuff around.
Overall the trailer tows amazingly well with the current vehicle. It's often like it's not even back there.
If anybody has the weight of the trailer that would be helpful. As well any advice would be helpful as well. I was sort of an idiot when I first bought my trailer and measured absolutely nothing and just randomly threw everything together last minute. The trailer literally was a last minute impulse buy as I passed a trailer sales place on the way to pick up a rental trailer. Hours before I was supposed to be at the track I was raiding the home depot and cycle gear for parts I would need and got everything mounted and got the bikes loaded and left.
I have yet to take delivery of the car and want to make sure things are going to work and be safe before I do. I'll still have the other vehicle around just in case as well if I run into issues. I tried my luck the last time and don't want to end up unlucky this time.
Thanks in advance!
